APNIC recently announced that the apnic.net zone will have Domain Name Security Extensions (DNSSEC) applied from 1 July 2013.

DNSSEC is a set of protocols that add a layer of security to the Domain Name System (DNS) lookup and exchange processes, which have become integral in accessing websites. The extensions can authenticate the origin of data sent from a DNS server, to verify the integrity of data and authenticate non-existent DNS data.
